The events of the past few days have been stunning to say the very least! The Democrat Party is on life support and its supporters are clustered around the bedside squabbling over whose fault it is.
Washington, DC has become a quagmire of crime. Its murder rate is higher than many of the so-called “dangerous cities” here and abroad. Contrary to popular belief, it has been listed a dangerous one throughout history, particularly during and after the Civil War and in the 1960’s and 1900’s. Donald Trump’s decision to return responsibility for governing the city to Congress has been met with resistance by the left; however, many of the city’s residents are thankful.
While statistics indicate that crime is down considerably, there is alleged evidence that local police officials intentionally doctored those stats. Car theft is out of sight, for example, but crime statistics have apparently ignored them. Much of the criminal activity is perpetrated by younger teens who freely roam the streets day and night, causing havoc while authorities apparently look the other way.
Trump has placed numerous federal authorities as well as National Guard on the streets and it will be interesting to observe the effect of said placements. I was bit surprised to learn that the district already has 3,200 police officers! One would think that would be sufficient for an area that size.
Of course, much of the criminal activity is drug-related and I’m told that said deals take place openly in public areas. Of course, this crime generates other criminal acts. I recently watched several videos of DC residents who were thrilled with what Trump has initiated and support him completely. One grandmother recalled seeing a three-year-old boy out on the streets after dark!
I think the big news is Pam Bondi’s appointing an attorney general to preside over evidence which would be presented to a grand jury if one is called. Others have indicated that grand juries will indeed be held regarding the Russia Gate fiasco. FBI Director Kash Patel’s recovery of numerous “burn bags” containing incriminating criminal activity on the part of several high-level Obama personnel is disturbing news, especially for those involved in the scheme.
Among those allegedly named: Hillary Clinton, Adam Schiff, Eric Swallwell, James Comey, John Brennan and Jake Clapper among others. Obama’s name has even come up. Candidly, the chances for jail time on any is doubtful; however, it is certainly warranted. A great deal would depend on the jurisdiction the jury would take place. Florida would be ideal and is a viable option.
ICE personnel continue to be harassed. The “sanctuary city” concept is insane at the very least. Officials are protecting illegals who, in turn, are victimizing their legal residents. One horrific example is a young mother who was killed when an illegal alien driving while impaired crossed over and struck her car head-on. This individual had been arrested seven times for various crimes and released every time! He had also illegally entered the country on several occasions, a federal felony offense.
Things are changing, though very slowly. Recently, a man who was harassing ICE officials threw a subway sandwich, striking an officer and then ran. While before, the officer would have taken the assault and done nothing, this time he and his team chased the man down and arrested him for assaulting a federal officer, a felony! He was also fired from his federal job!
New York Attorney General Letitia James and Senator Adam Schiff are also under investigation for fraudulent home loans issues. Both declared homes outside their jurisdictional areas as their primary residence. Both are claiming revenge as being the reason for the action. James ran for her position based on a promise to “get Trump” and was, obviously, unsuccessful. Adam Schiff is probably the worst member of Congress and I will never comprehend the fact that Californians promoted him to Senator!
Lastly, in 1992, a member of Congress stood and ranted for some time about the violence and crime in the District of Columbia being out of control and something must be done immediately! That Congressman? Joseph R. Biden!
